I remember the day I received a vivid lesson on the subtle power of what we hear. A friend of mine and I were enjoying a great time of fellowship over lunch. We were talking about "'Truth-Talk"' and the benefits we receive for listening to it on a daily basis. We sat there for over an hour totally caught up in our conversation with each other. Background music was softly being played.
As we walked out to our cars later, we both started signing the chorus to the song we recently heard. We hadn't even really listened to the song, yet it had penetrated our spirits and was now lingering in our cousciousness. Our mouths automatically started speaking what had been sown in our hearts through the gateway of our ears.
That's why you need to be so selective about what type of conversation you permit yourself to hear. Stop hanging around with people that constantly talk about their doubt and fears. You can't do it without being adversely affected. You may say, "oh , I just let those thoughts go in one ear and out the other." But that's impossible! Just as we ended up singing that song, you'll end up signing you friend's song of doubt and fear when times get tough.
You simply must guard your ears. The words you habitually listen to will become what you believe!!!

A photograph is shaped more by the "'Truth-Talk'" of the person taking the picture than by what's in front of it.

Hearing you child say, “I hate myself”, “I am so stupid”, or “No body likes me” can be heart breaking and alarming.
What your children says out loud gives you a window into what they are thinking – their ‘”"'Truth-talk"'”’. You know they are engaging in negative ‘”"'Truth-talk"'”’ when you hear things like: “I’m never going to get this!” or “I hate school!” Sometimes it’s not what they way out load, but you may notice self-defeating, subtle facial expressions or mumbles under their breath.

* Love yourself! Treat yourself like a best friend. How you talk about yourself becomes a model that you children will follow.
* Praise. Seek out opportunities to praise your son or daughter for achievements or good behavior. Find ways to praise your children when talking to others – especially if your child is in earshot, but not a part of your conversation.
* Get Sassy! Encourage your child to be THE BOSS of their negative voice and TALK BACK to it! When your negative voice tells you “You’re not going to do well on this test” don’t let it take your confidence away!! Tell that voice, “I’m a good learner. I’m going to try my best. If I try my best, I’ll do okay.”
